Testimonials

I wouldn’t think of hiring anyone without the input of Leadership Alliance. Their assessment tests coupled with the expertise and insights of Karen and David Weller are unmatched and help me hire the right people. I didn’t listen to them once and boy, was that a mistake I won’t make again! They took the time to know our core values and guiding principles and help us hire the team players and leaders we need as we grow. They are simply The Best!

This was the first time we’ve done professional development like this for our Culture and People Development Directors, other than compliance/legal updates. I could not have been happier with how things turned out.

We originally retained Leadership Alliance to help us with our pre-employment assessments.

As a result, their assessment and coaching techniques have provided our executives and managers the ability to grow as company leaders.

David Weller of Leadership Alliance expertly helped our department realize how to successfully manage peer conflict.
